- Take a hike
Want to stretch your legs and enjoy the spring weather? There are many fun trails to take in Moscow to do just that. Some of the most popular spots are the Headwaters Trail, East Moscow Mountain Trail and the Idler’s Rest Nature Preserve.
- Have a picnic
The Palouse is full of rolling hills, whether on or off campus. Just spread out a blanket and gather up some delicious food to enjoy with a few friends or your significant other under the sun. A great on campus picnic spot is the new Arboretum to enjoy the sights of nature without going far!
- Go star gazing
Looking at the night sky can be really relaxing. You can search for constellations, watch the stars blink, or see the clouds against the dark sky. Star gazing can make for a romantic date idea too. Who knows, maybe you’ll even see a shooting star!
- Make a bouquet
Springtime is rife with flowers and little green sprouts. You can go outside and pick enough flowers for a bouquet and gift it to a family member or your significant other.
- Play outdoor games
Now that the weather is getting warmer, you can enjoy a friendly competition outdoors. You could toss a football back and forth with your friends, play some volleyball or spike ball, or throw a frisbee. The Tower lawn is a popular spot for all kinds of outdoor games and activities!
- Spring cleaning and decorating
Springtime is for making things like new. You can clean up your living space and rejuvenate with some clean and fresh spring décor. Open your windows for a cool breeze and air out your home.
- Do a nature photo shoot
If you like to take aesthetic photos, the flowering trees and budding flowers are perfect for a photographic background. Photos of the blooming plants and the spring weather also make great subjects to shoot too!
- Lay in a hammock
Do you like laying in the sunshine? Hammocking is an enjoyable and fun way to rest in the warm weather. It’s even better with friends and/or your significant other! There are hammock posts in the LLC courtyards, as well as lots of other great hammocking spots around campus.
